Molly Ruth Pierson is a student at Purdue University studying Health and Kinesiology with anticipated graduation in August 2009. She has participated in Purdue Cross Country and Track and Field for four years, competing at the Big Ten and National levels. Ms. Pierson has held internships helping athletes improve performance and a job in retail where she advised customers on athletic shoes. Her community involvement includes volunteering with Girls Day in Sports and other organizations in Lafayette.
While working in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2007, I developed a slide presentation to accompany a workshop to help local women become better public speakers. This had to be a culturally-sensitive presentation, creating ties to the presentation to Islamic tradition for women. This presentation includes many examples of respected Islamic women who have been teachers and public speakers. The notes section provides guidelines on how to conduct this workshop.
